Altman's turn...

Dan is not Kirby or Nick. Dan is Dan and so far he's been seriously out-coached when it mattered most. Not to say he can't get beyond this current plateau, but doing so will require something different. Something we haven't seen yet. The question is, does Dan have the extra "something" or not? Time will tell.

I've already stuck a fork in it, doubt adding 12 more over paid and under prepared 'clown-squads' will improve anything... I'll still watch, just never quite sure what it is I'm seeing. Go Ducks!

Having no skin in any of this, and not being much of a figure skating fan, it was predictable how the media focused on the other (gender issues) girl and her disappointment. What was remarkable was seeing Liu step up and truly win everyone over, even me. What a performance!

Money aside, he probably figures he'll have better chances of winning the "big one" with Kiffen at LSU.

When then the 'slogan' defines the reality you might want to pay attention.

To quote Cignetti, "We play to win. Other teams play to 'not lose'" This could not be a better explanation of ODB in recent years. Mario figured it out at Miami and damn near won with his Mari-go offense and Mari-no defense. I'm highly skeptical of Lanning's coordinator hires. Where is the 'change' going to come from? I'm not seeing it.

My position is that for the Ducks to get to the next level somebody's standards will have to change. Not that "my standards" matter, they don't. If the coaches think we're good, and the majority of the fans think we're good, then who am I to impose some unrealistic standard or expectation. We generally hit want we aim for, so as long as you're happy with what you're seeing then good for you. Go Ducks

Where did I say "blowout"? What I'd like to see is some consistency, something to actually build off. I love CFB, especially seeing teams execute. Just hoping that some day I'll be able to see my Ducks do it. Lower my standards? You get what you ask for...

I posted very little, if at all this season. The reason was what I was seeing on the field, and it wasn't that great. As in, if you don't have anything good to say then maybe don't say anything. Sure, Dante throws some beauts, and we definitely have tons of talent. The problem for me was that the wins were never very convincing, not at all. There are a lot of mechanics in football, a great team operates like a well-oiled machine. Our guys looked like car made from Ferrari parts but assembled in the Yugo factory, and when things got serious it was all too apparent.

Not a chance. At least Miami will have more than 1,500 fans in attendance, not that it will help...

Judging by how many OR fans were in attendance I'm wondering how many fans we even have...

Just saw Clark in a cameo on Apple tv's Stick last night. Damage control?

The game crew, the remote crew, maybe the double-secret-remote crew? As long as they got away with it (and they got away with it) who cares, right?

None of this matters as the catcher didn't have the ball. This was obstruction and it was an inexcusable call.
